Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York Spring 2015 Collections Preliminary Schedule Announced
As summer starts to wind down, the fashion industry is finalizing its plans to show the world what’s in store for next spring. This September, the Spring 2015 Collections will celebrate the people and places that will inspire us in the year ahead. The New York collections showcase the most diverse roster of designers from every corner of the world.
September 4-11, 2014 will see more than 80 shows, presentations and special events usher in the new season at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. New York has become the hub for international designers looking to debut their designs on the same runways as leading American brands. This season, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week has designers from 12 countries, including Australia, Brazil, China, France, India, Israel, Italy, Korea, Spain and the United States, along with 15 designers making their MBFW debut.
“New York City is the style capital of the world and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week epitomizes the entrepreneurial heartbeat and culture that makes this city so vibrant,” said Jarrad Clark, VP and Global Creative Director, IMG Fashion Events & Properties. “We have established American brands like BCBGMAXAZRIA, Carolina Herrera, Monique Lhuillier, Nanette Lepore and Nicole Miller showing on the same runways as international heavyweights Custo Barcelona, Lacoste and Zimmermann. In addition, the next generation of global artists from August Getty and Francesca Liberatore to LIE SANGBONG and TOME, will all unite under the tents at Lincoln Center, making MBFW a sensational showing of established and emerging designers from every corner of the world.”

Last February, IMG Fashion introduced a series of event and venue upgrades to better each designer’s experience and make the industry’s day-to-day planning and reporting even simpler. This season, those upgrades continue with the introduction of a newly revamped Salon. The Salon will now offer designers the ability to customize the runway setting in tandem with flexible seating schemes that allow them to better tell their brand story and vision. Similar to the recently launched Pavilion, the Salon offers the flexibility of downtown spaces while allowing designers to capitalize on the critical mass at Lincoln Center.
Title sponsor Mercedes-Benz is joined by DHL, American Express®, Maybelline New York, TRESemmé, Samsung Mobile, E! Entertainment, PANDORA, WGSN, eBay, The New York Times as well as Women’s Wear Daily and Getty Images.
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is an IMG event.
